Farewell! This game has been cancelled.


Hey, guys! I regret to inform you that this is the last update for this game.

In other words, I have decided to cancel TQfEL2, and any further installments in the TQfEL series.

“Why?”, you may ask?

Well, for starters, I planned this game to be too massive for the Scratch engine to handle. Scratch’s game creation software began to lag, and not run properly when I was only about ¾ into programming Iceland.

I was lucky to get Iceland done, but by the time I got to programming England, Scratch had given up. New glitches were popping up faster than I could fix them, and before I knew it, the game was barely playable.

Here’s what England would have looked like, had I managed to get it working:

Secondly, I programmed Iceland without even thinking of the other countries.

Therefore, England would have taken a very long time to integrate into the game’s programming, and even if I had managed to do that, there would also be France.

Thirdly, I lost interest in TQfEL.

This game became too boring to make. The story seemed pointless, and I didn’t really think that this was worth pursuing anymore.

Once I released the demo, I felt like I was done with this game. I also planned ahead, and I eventually became more interested in my possible future installments than I was about this game.

If you were wondering, I was going to make TQfEL3, and was going to call it “The Quest for Endless Life III: Alchemical Origin”. I also planned for it to be split up into three “parts”. After that, I wanted to make “The Quest for Endless Life IV: Your Story” which would be a sort of DIY TQfEL game.

Needless to say, I didn’t want to make TQfEL2 anymore. And I eventually decided to cancel the series as well.

Don’t worry, though. This doesn’t mean that I will stop making games. Game development is one of my favorite hobbies, and I will not stop now.

Honestly though, I had fun with this game, and it taught me a lot that I didn’t know about game development.

And for those of you who did like this game, I will probably begin development on a new game soon. Stay tuned!

Thank you for reading,
Superben100!

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!
